Insomnia and depression
I have noticed after the anti-depressant kicks in my insomnia has been slowly increasing. I feel wide awake for some period and then becoming so tired and thought that I could sleep but then when the light is off and I just slowly back to becoming wide awake again. I usually unable to sleep around mid night, the usual hour that I can fall asleep will moving away from 3 am to later and later. No matter how I tried to tired myself out and go to bed at normal hour, it won't happen. Please help!

Hi Iraku, Try going to bed later at night and have a warm drink. I have warm milk and honey, You can get sleepy teas as well . Also try not to worry when you can't sleep. I'm not a good sleeper I average about 3-4 hours a night. T he more you lay there thinking about not sleeping the worse it can become. I also find that reading a book can help as well, Hope this has helped a little Hugs Piglit I also find that lavender creams oils etc can help you to relax x0

Sleeping pill isn't even working on me. I do have excessive sleep during the day. I have never before able to sleep more than 7 hours continuously but now sleep during the day is something so easily done. Sometime I went to bed by 9 pm and hope to have a good long sleep, I would be awake at mid night for no reason and this annoying pattern continues. The problem of the time I'm not sleeping too that I feel my brain is suspended, I can't think clear, while I was doing my engineering degree I can not calculate, I can not read, the brain isn't registered any information...my brain shut down but my body still going but not fully functioning. It's like a zombie just sit and stir at the screen or stir at the tv ...I usually put on some dvd and let it runs and set the shut down time so I'd be unconscious at some point. I tried to not sleeping until the time that I want to be in bed. It still happens. I can not go to bed at the normal bed time and this is very frustrating.
I'm not worry about anything, Piglit. My mind is mostly blank .... I'm going to talk to a doctor today. There's a new doctor at the pharmacy, I will try out.
If your sleeping during the day you won't sleep at night sweetie. You have to try to stay awake during the day and keep yourself busy during the day to turn your bodyclock around x0
Maybe a good idea let me know how you get along always here anytime you need me Hugs
